I have a personal beef with that game :)
I am sure there are people with good memories of it as an arena shooter, but I had little interest in that. And as a Metroid, it sucked (...sorry)
I remember trying the First Hunt demo, that was a demo cartridge from the beginning of the DS and was supposed to be a short teaser for what Hunters would be. Back then I thought, yeah, with a game around it, it could be great.
Turns out the actual Hunters was absolutely nothing like that, and focused only on multiplayer. The only reason they tacked a half-assed single-player mode on it is so it could be sold to people who wanted an actual Metroid game. I'd respect the game more if they didn't try to sell it as more than it really was.
